eh

if you have homework you can sit down and work on and make progress on, i'm jealous of you. you may read and complain you don't remember everything you read... you may write and claim it's a crappy paper... whatever you have to do, if you have the ability to sit down for a set period of time and come back with at least something to show for it (whether it's as quality or as much as you wanted), i'm insanely jealous. math does not work that way.

i worked pretty much all afternoon and evening yesterday, as well as all day today (minus an hour to see the heffalump movie with leigh... the heffalump was waaaay too cute in all the previews not to see it on opening weekend!) up til now (1am), and let me detail my progress on all the things i hoped to work on this weekend

combinatorics (due friday, haven't started)
reading class (stuff due thursday, haven't started)
algorithms class (stuff to read for tomorrow, haven't touched it)
commutative algebra (12 problems, after working for (counts...) something on the order of 20 hours on it, i've done all the problems in "routine calculations" and "gaps from class", and while my goal was to solve 3/5 "broader questions", i have ideas of how to do 2 of them, but have not completed any... these don't have a due date, but i've been putting them behind other stuff long enough, i decided i should get started before the next set comes (tomorrow))

in summary... i worked my butt off this weekend and am even further behind than i was on friday! this is not good.

at least the heffalump was cute.

night.
